For those of you on medication, how do you manage delayed flights causing you to miss appointments? Often, cancellation policies are strict, expensive, and require several days notice.

explain to your shrink that due to uncontrollable circumstances, you may need to have phone appointments once in a while, and that you will do them the courtesy of letting them know as soon as you do that you’ll have to talk over the phone vs in-person. leave them a message when this happens if you aren’t able to get through to them. try to schedule your rebooked flights around your appointment time so that at least you can dial in. if they aren’t understanding, they suck at their job and you should reiterate to them that the reason you see them is to reduce anxiety, not add to it.

I get my antidepressants from an urgent care clinic (walk-ins welcome; I get my Vyvanse and Zoloft refills) and therapy separately elsewhere. My therapist has no cancellation fee. Maybe try that route?

Right. I’m saying I split those separately. Vyvanse is a controlled substance, and you can get controlled substance prescriptions from primary care physicians/urgent care clinics. At least the one I go to
